If a patient has DVT of common femoral, superficial femoral and popliteal veins of LLE is it proper to code for all of them?

The answer would be yes, code for all DVT sites.

Its kind of misleading when they say DVT of Superficial Femoral vein as its a misnomer. Its really a deep vein so I would not follow superficial in the index.
I was leaning towards that but the superficial got me second guessing
